I'm sorry I don't have a more coherent post for you over here, but this is about the limit of my brain function today so please bear with me!!

-My printer went out awhile ago. Like months ago. So I attempted to use my husbands. Totally didn't work either. So I've been relying on him to print things at work for me that I need for my work. No bueno. However, the solution to this was me driving 25 minutes each way to buy a new printer. Now that it's done, I'm glad I made the effort. However, at the time I was SO annoyed!

-I'm also attempting to give up caffeine. (Could that be why I'm so annoyed? :) ) Specifically my beloved Diet Coke. I would have usually between 2-3 a day and that was the main source of my caffeine. I might have an occasional cup of coffee or latte, but the vast majority is coming from my love of DC. This week I've been limiting myself to only one. It's pretty tough! I spend my days thinking do I need the DC now or should I save it for later? I think next week will be better--and I'm going to attempt to only buy DC occasionally for our house. Maybe my next switch will only to be ordering DC at a restaurant?

-Sometime in the future (at least a year!) Rob and I could be talking about building our own house. Our home right now is a one bedroom, so there's no room for future babies to run around. Even though it's not something that's going to happen anytime soon, I can't help but look at Pinterest alllll day long and plan my future Master Bedroom or my kids' bathrooms. And imagining my dream kitchen? I could spend all day on that one! I was thinking about doing a series of posts on my ideas for each room. What do you think?

-Traveling for work is picking up again. This month I'm going to log over 1600 miles for my job--mainly on the weekends and in the evenings. However, I'm pretty excited about it. I think this time around things are pretty spaced out and I will get to have some quality time with my friends and family along the way. This weekend I'll get to be with my mom and sister! In a couple of weeks, I'll be working but Rob will be coming along with me. I can't complain about that at all!

-I'm really need to step up to the plate to meet my monthly goals! I've only run twice this week--and it's Thursday! I'm going to head out right after this for a run--reminding myself of my goals was a huge motivation!

-Rob's birthday is coming up at the end of the month! He really wanted some new things for his car, which were his birthday gift from me. However, I have been searching for a small birthday gift to go along with it. And, I think I found it! I'm so excited, but no more details since he reads the blog. I'll be sure to share after his birthday celebrations!

Ok that is enough random for now! I hope you're having a good Thursday! :)

it's september!tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a0120a4d25a87970b01543508ccd0970c2011-09-01T08:02:53-07:002011-09-01T08:02:53-07:00I honestly cannot believe it is September! I feel like it was just yesterday when I was getting ready to be gone for so much of the summer! I have seen so many bloggers set goals for themselves for each month and I'd like to join in on the fun. I think each month gives us each a great start to really make a fresh start for us to try our very best. Here are my September goals: Run at least 5 days a week.

I honestly cannot believe it is September! I feel like it was just yesterday when I was getting ready to be gone for so much of the summer! I have seen so many bloggers set goals for themselves for each month and I'd like to join in on the fun. I think each month gives us each a great start to really make a fresh start for us to try our very best.

Here are my September goals:

Run at least 5 days a week. I had to take a break from this during August since I sprained my ankle, but I started the month off right with a great run this morning! I want to continue this throughout the rest of September.

Clean my house on Thursdays. I'm going to be gone for at least part of every weekend during the month of September. I hate coming home to a dirty house, with suitcases of laundry to do. So, this month, I am making it a goal to have a clean house on Thursday so it will (hopefully) be clean when I come home on Sunday.

Spend time first thing in the morning with God. I am starting a new Bible Study next week and I would like to have this be the first thing I cross off my list every day!

See my friends at least once a week. This is not always easy when our schedules get very busy. However, some of my in-town friends and I have decided to try to have a Sunday night dinner together. I really want to get this idea moving and spend some quality time with my sweet friends.

Start substitute teaching! I am home most days, while working nights and weekends. So, I would like to starting substituting to get out of the house more, meet new people, and bring in a little extra cash! I'd love to start a vacation fund with my subbing money. :)

Take down all of my summer decorations and get ready for fall in our home!

Alright friends, those are my goals for this month. I will check back in on these at the end of the month! And, tell me--are you making any goals for the month of September?
